In the evening, Emperor Yuan gave a banquet to his ministers in the main hall of Suzhou Palace, and Fu Qizheng sat in the garden with Jiayi and Wenyue to talk.

"I'm going to return to Minghu tomorrow, the queen has been grounded for a month, and I don't know what the imperial brother will do with the queen." Jiayi said.

Wen Yue looked around and said cautiously: "Can the queen still be the queen?" ”

Fu Qizheng looked calm, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Of course the queen is the queen, even if I was drowned that day, her position was still stable, so she wantonly wanted to kill me that day." ”

"But I see that the queen was also frightened that day, and it was the wonderful cole beside the queen who bewitched the queen." Wen Yue said

Jiayi immediately said: "Miaokou was originally the queen mother's personal maidservant, and after the queen was canonized, the queen mother let her go to the queen's side to be a female official, and she left Xia Luan by her side. ”

Fu Qizheng smiled: "That maid is worthy of being trained by the Queen Mother, deaf and clear-sighted, deep in thought, I was not pushed into the water by the queen that day, and the queen let me dance is not a punishment, it can be cleared up, presumably the ideas before and after are all from the maid, and the queen has already paved the way for the queen, it is this woman by the queen's side that the queen mother can rest assured to stay in the palace." ”

"Isn't this a way for the queen to get away with it?" Wen Yue was unwilling.

Fu Qizheng said again: "The emperor will inevitably take care of the queen mother when he disposes of the queen, with the queen mother here, the queen will do whatever she wants, and the queen mother will support her." ”

"But the more the royal brother can't do anything about her, the more he is tired of the queen, and it is a pity that there is no place for her." Jiayi shook her head lightly and said.

Wen Yue asked curiously: "I heard that my sister has accepted a palace maid, what is so special about this woman, it is worth my sister to take all the way from Suzhou to Pingjing." ”

"It's Qiao Yanyi."

"Is that the woman who jumped into the lake that day? Ling Binwei's sweetheart? Jiayi was also interested

Fu Qizheng nodded, and Jiayi was surprised: "This woman is strong and knowledgeable, how can she be willing to enter the palace as a palace maid." ”

"Yin Wei said that she was forced to marry by her family, and she couldn't go back to her home, thinking that she had nowhere to go, and she was willing to follow me into the palace, I was also very puzzled." Fu Qizheng said.

Wen Yue said regretfully: "It's a pity to be a palace maid for such a talented woman." ”

"I can't be the master of this matter, and it depends on the queen's will in the end." Fu Qizheng said lightly.

Jiayi was a little helpless: "We and the queen have been so rigid, I'm afraid this matter is difficult." ”

"Not necessarily, if I don't have three points for sure, how dare I keep her." Fu Qizheng seems to be confident.

Jiayi held her head and looked at the sky and sighed: "Alas, I have been out for so long, and I don't know how my sister is doing. ”

"This is Jiaying's own choice, no matter whether this road is good or not, it is a foregone conclusion, we feel sorry for her, it's too early, maybe they will respect each other like guests in the future?" Fu Qizheng said with a smile.

Jiayi smiled: "It's like you and the imperial brother are so affectionate during this time, how could you have thought that the dislike between you and the imperial brother in the past, and you have suffered a lot of grievances because of this, it can be said that you have come to the bitter end." He looked at Fu Qizheng behind him and said, "Let's see who is back." ”

Fu Qizheng looked back, Qingchu walked over, with tears in her eyes: "Master, the slave and maid are back, the slave and maid are not by the master's side, everything is okay with the master?" ”

"Why did you just come back and cry again, I don't know, I thought that this concubine used a knife to force you back." Fu Qizheng quipped.

Jiayi looked at Qingchu and said with a smile: "That's not good, the mist of this princess is all called by your master." ”

"The princess's mist and sister's Qingchu are both smart girls, how can they be like Yan'er." Wen Yue complained.

Jiayi looked at Wen Yue in disbelief: "It's the first time I've heard someone praise Shui Wu for being smart, but the girl in the palace is smart, and the most important thing is loyalty." ”

Back in the dormitory, Qing Chu served Fu Qizheng to remove makeup and change clothes, and carefully told Fu Qizheng about the journey along the way, the two chatted until late at night, Qing Chu turned around and saw Emperor Yuan who had just entered the door, he was really shocked, and hurriedly knelt down: "See the emperor." ”

Fu Qizheng also got up and owed.

"Why are you scared like this?" Emperor Yuan frowned.

Qingchu knelt on the ground, trembling: "Slave, slave didn't know that the emperor was suddenly coming, so ......"

Fu Qizheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Qingchu just came back, I didn't know that this was the emperor's bedroom." ”

"Alright, let's go down." Emperor Yuan beckoned, pulled Fu Qizheng and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Qing Chu retreated in confusion, and Fu Qizheng asked softly, "Why did the emperor only come back now." ”

"Walked around the garden."

Fu Qizheng saw that Emperor Yuan was a little worried between his eyebrows, and asked with heavy eyes: "Is the emperor worried about the affairs of the queen's mother?" ”

"How do you know?" Emperor Yuan looked at Fu Qizheng with some surprise.

Fu Qizheng said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about this matter, go back and lift the queen's ban, and go back to the palace together." ”

"If I don't deal with the queen, won't I have wronged you." Emperor Yuan was embarrassed.

"The concubine is fine now, let's stop this matter, if the emperor doesn't ask anymore, the queen must also know the difference, the January ban is already a punishment, don't hurt the harmony with the queen mother because the concubine hurts."

"But ......" Emperor Yuan hesitated.

"If the emperor is really good for the concubines, then push the boat down the river and let the queen know her kindness, instead of resentment, the queen already hates concubines, if the emperor punishes her more, it will only make the queen hate the concubines even more." Fu Qizheng looked at Emperor Yuan, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.

Emperor Yuan thought for a moment and agreed, the sky was bright, Fu Qizheng glanced at the sleeping Emperor Yuan next to the pillow, Suzhou Palace was like a dream, I don't know if this dream will wake up today, the goose has passed without a trace, everything is as usual.

Early in the morning, Fu Qizheng asked Qiao Yanyi to share a car with her and Qingchu, along the way, Qiao Yanyi didn't say a word, full of worries, which made Fu Qizheng very puzzled, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Yan Yi, do you know that when we arrive at Minghu, we will rush back to Pingjing non-stop, are you really willing?" ”

Qiao Yanyi came back to her senses and nodded resolutely, her firmness made Fu Qizheng even more suspicious.

The carriage stopped at Minghu, and Fu Qizheng took Qiao Yanyi straight to the queen's Qingluan boat.

As soon as she entered the cabin, the queen said angrily: "Fu Qizheng, you dare to come back." ”

Fu Qizheng stepped forward to bless herself: "The concubine asked the queen to say goodbye, it was against the mother's wishes, the concubine was still alive, which disappointed the mother." ”

The queen sneered: "Heh, the emperor has come back to dispose of the palace, are you happy?" ”

Miao Ko immediately said, "Aya Ronghua, you have nothing to do with the mother when the sun falls, how can the concubine slander the queen in front of the emperor." ”

"Aunt Miaokou misunderstood, how could the concubine bear to let the queen be punished, and she would definitely not say those things that should not be said." Fu Qizheng got up and said.

"So what are you to say?" The queen looked at Fu Qizheng with empty eyes.

"The concubine has always regarded the queen as the master of the harem, and the big and small things in the palace must be the master, and the concubine does not dare to trespass." looked sideways at Qiao Yanyi and said: "This woman's name is Qiao Yanyi, she was known by the concubine in Suzhou, and now she has no relatives and no reason, the concubine wants her to stay by her side and wait, and she hopes that the queen will be successful." After saying that, he yawned lightly.

"What if Motonomiya doesn't agree?" The queen glanced at Qiao Yanyi and raised her eyebrows.

"Niangniang does not agree with the power of Niangniang, this is still Qingluanfang, everyone knows that the concubine and Niangniang are not in harmony, the emperor has returned to Minghu, if the concubine goes to this Minghu to wash the dust, what does Niangniang think?"

The queen pointed at Fu Qizheng angrily: "Fu Qizheng you!" ”

Fu Qizheng raised her lips and smiled: "The concubine naturally can't die, but what will happen to the queen's mother, the concubine doesn't know, it's just a palace maid, why bother?" ”

"You think Hongu is afraid of you?"

"Niangniang, don't ......," Miao said busily, leaning into the queen's ear and saying a few words.

The queen clenched her hands tightly, and she wanted to speak indignantly, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, and then said slowly: "Okay, this palace will depend on you, and you are satisfied." ”

Fu Qizheng looked at Qiao Yanyi and said with a smile: "Yan Yi, I haven't thanked the queen yet." ”

Qiao Yanyi bowed and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

"If there is nothing else, the concubine will retire, the emperor's will must have arrived in a while, and the mother should clean up early, so as not to be caught off guard and delay the trip." After Fu Qizheng finished speaking, Fu Shen retired.

Walking off the Qingluan boat, Fu Qizheng said as he walked: "Do you think that this concubine seems to be a different person, too scheming, this is the case in the palace, are you afraid?" ”

Qiao Yanyi followed behind Fu Qizheng and said busily: "Yan Yi is not afraid, Yan Yi will definitely help the concubine." ”

"This concubine doesn't need you to help anything, Yinwei entrusts you to this concubine, as long as you are good in the palace, don't get involved in right and wrong, Mingzhe protects herself." Fu Qizheng said lightly.

"Master, Lan Jieyu fainted." Qing Chu hurriedly ran to say.

"How could you faint?" Fu Qizheng said worriedly, and quickened his steps to Wen Yue's carriage.

"The Imperial Doctor has already rushed to see that he is suffering from heat poison." Qing Chu followed and said.

Wen Yue had been helped out of the carriage and set up a pergola for her to sit under to rest, she was already awake, but she still looked weak, and Yan'er kept fanning the wind on the side.

Emperor Yuan also rushed over and asked, "Imperial Doctor, how is Lan Jieyu?" ”

The imperial doctor finished taking the pulse and reported with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor, the concubine Jieyu is pregnant." ”

Emperor Yuan was overjoyed: "Really? ”

"Absolutely." The Imperial Doctor said confidently.

Wen Yue was also pleasantly surprised, and smiled from ear to ear: "I've been feeling unwell recently, but I didn't expect ......"

"Congratulations sister." Fu Qizheng said with a smile.

Emperor Yuan was extremely happy, and instructed the imperial physician to take care of the maid, sit under the pergola with Wen Yue, and intended to stay in Minghu for two more days so that Wen Yue could recuperate, but Wen Yue was concerned that the child in her womb did not want to go out anymore, and her heart was like an arrow, so Emperor Yuan decided to rest for an hour and go on the road. Under the pergola, Emperor Yuan greeted Wen Yue and talked with Wen Yue very happily, Fu Qizheng stood silently aside, wanting to be concerned, but he couldn't insert a word, turned around and left quietly.

After walking along the lake for a long time, he stopped and looked at the vast Ming Lake, Fu Qizheng smiled bitterly: "If it is really a dream, there will be a time to wake up." ”

"The king is the most ruthless man in the world." Qiao Yanyi sighed.

As soon as these words came out, Fu Qizheng was faintly stunned.

frightened Qing Chu, and hurriedly stopped: "Stop it." ”

Qiao Yanyi realized that she had said the wrong thing and wanted to kneel down to ask for guilt, but was held up by Fu Qizheng.

Fu Qizheng looked at her and smiled helplessly: "This concubine is not a holy person, not only that, but also has a holiday with the queen and the two concubines Yin Hua in the palace and even the queen mother, I am afraid that you will have to suffer some hardships with this concubine." ”

Qiao Yanyi shook her head: "The concubine is willing to take Yan Yi in, Yan Yi is grateful, and she should share the honor and disgrace with the concubine." ”
